Synopsis

This book explores the complex set of issues surrounding the peacetime economics of industry. It was written in response to the widespread economic chaos that followed World War 1. The author argues that many of the economic woes attributed to the war are not the result of the war, but rather systemic issues within the organization of industry and society. Written in 1923, the book's insights hold valuable lessons for today's policymakers, economists, and business leaders. The author's controversial belief that economic growth can be found in reorienting efforts from consumption to production, and from a reliance on foreign goods to developing the talents and resources closer to home, will likely spark thoughtful discussion and debate.
